Profession/Class: Comes from a wealthy upper class family of five and works as an archivist for the Library of Congress in D.C.

Social Standing: She used to have a very high standing in society due to her parents aristocracy and wealth but her position slowly began to sink after she chose to be with Issac and sunk to an all time low after the accusations came out.

Hobbies: She’s had a rekindled love of cooking since she was pregnant with Desmond and dabbles in trying new recipes from time to time, reads a lot but she loves cultural history books along with biographies, listens to and dances to music.

Temperament: Very mature young woman who knows how to successfully separate her personal life from her professional life. She can come off as snobbish to people. She keeps a cool head but does have her panicky moments; she also has a potty mouth.

Additional Notes on Character: She was a bit lonely and sheltered growing up as she was the youngest of her wealthy family with a nearly twenty year age gap between her parents and siblings. She usually had her cat, imagination, and books to keep her company; it helped her intelligence but only separated her more from her peers.

The benefits from these situations gave her a stronger resolve to be self-reliant and very assertive with others.

She doesn’t have the greatest relationship with her parents mostly due to her choosing to stay with Issac then eventually having a son out of wedlock. She has an eldest sister named Francine, but she doesn’t get along well with her either. She is very close to her older brother Benjamin and still continues to seek his advice any time trouble comes up; he’s also one of the only close family members who gets along with Issac.  

She also speaks french fluently.

Temperament: Easygoing and friendly a majority of the time with a balanced personality but he can get easily bored and restless and has a bit of a temper. The years of living with Diana rubbed off on his personality a bit; he’s matured a little especially after becoming a father. But he still has a very mischievous and playful side to him.

Accent: Baton Rouge accent that’s more pronounced when he’s angry or happy. Has a sort of bouncy feeling to his voice.

Additional Notes on Character: He never knew his father, Clifford, due to him passing away from lung cancer before he was born, leading Issac to seek father and brother figures as he got older. He officially became an orphan after the death of his mother, Daisy, at the age of four from suicide dealing with depression.

Since then he was raised in the Bludon Home Orphanage residing in Baton Rouge. He first decided to become an agent because of a cop named Roger Augustus, a father figure who often made sure Issac stayed out of trouble and provide guidance when he was younger.

“Franklin’s heart beat at staccato as he heard Diane’s footsteps round the corner hitting the wood floor with a soft patter with each step from the bathroom.

His mouth stretched a bit wider and his pants suddenly felt a little constricting, only to receive a quick kick to the middle of his eyes from his brain at the feeling.”

Franklin’s heart dropped to his stomach and beat at staccato as he heard Diane’s footsteps round the corner hitting the wood floor with a soft patter with each step from the bathroom.

His mouth stretched a bit wider and his pants suddenly felt a little constricting, only to receive a quick kick to the middle of his eyes from his brain at the feeling.

"

Revise, I just changed the second sentence around a bit.

"Franklin’s heart dropped to his stomach and beat at staccato as he heard Diane’s footsteps round the corner from the bathroom. The first thing he saw was her feet hitting the wood floor and her hair puffed behind her shaking a bit with each step. His mouth stretched a bit wider and his balls tightened slightly, only to receive a quick kick to the middle of his eyes from his brain at the feeling."

Writing this part and saving it for later.

"Oh yeah, sorry to knock you off your cloud but just so our little building keeps up with the courtesy rule. Next time you plan on getting your dick wet, could you please remember to close the blinds next time? Especially for the tenets who have kiddies."

George, an apartment owner.

"I don’t know what’s going on between you two, nor do I think I want to know. Only thing I’ll tell you is that it needs to stop. It just… it just doesn’t look right to me or anybody else, especially now."
